A most amazing story about a remarkable person and his Microscopic Art. “Microscopic” is not just a creative adjective. Some of his pieces as a big as a blood cell.

I was at work watching the news when I came across this story. And while I was fascinated by his art, it was Willard Wigan’sspirit and his ability to transform what would have been a handicap to many into the impetus for greatness that absolutely captured me.

This amazing artist said he started when he was five. He said he has a learning disability and can’t read or write, and needed to find a way to express himself. He said his teachers made him feel like he was nothing. He said he’s trying to prove to the world that “nothing” doesn’t exist.

I smiled when the news caster said Willard Wigan just sold his entire life’s work for 20 million dollars. Probably just a tad more than what his teachers were making.

But more than that, was the enormous satisfaction this man is now receiving from the reactions of astonishment and wonder from others. What a big change from the disdain he must have received as a child, and all through his remarkable spirit and perseverance.

Mr. Wigan is sculpting his art for all of us who were made to feel “small” or made to feel like “nothing” growing up. He’s simply echoing what the Universe says and that is that each of us, every one of us, is not only SOMEthing, but a HUGE SOMETHING, a work of brilliant art, a holy sculpture, a blessed human being. Thank you Willard Wigan, and God Bless You!
